A Conversation With Diane Ackerman

A Conversation With Diane Ackerman

Best-selling author Diane Ackerman will be my special guest on this week’s radio show. One day, her husband Paul West, and exceptionally gifted wordsmith and intellectual suffered a terrible stroke. Her book ONE HUNDRED NAMES FOR LOVE: A Memoir, tells of their journey together through this challenging time. This book ( a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize) is both a humane and revealing addition to the medical literature on stroke and aphasia and an exquisitely written love story.
